Elizabeth Seifert, OTD
91µÎµÎ Me
I am an assistant professor in the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. I am a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association and the North Dakota Occupational Therapy Association where I have experience advocating and testifying on behalf of OT legislation and practice issues within the state of North Dakota. I have practiced primarily in the area of adult physical rehabilitation, with a specific focus on those living with neurological conditions. In addition, I bring a breadth of clinical experience having worked as a director of rehabilitation for interdisciplinary teams.
Why I’m At MaryTo put it simply, the 91µÎµÎ feels like home to me. With my vast array of experience in the healthcare field, I know there are many challenges our students will encounter. The 91µÎµÎ's mission and vision allows me to bridge the connection for students: the connection between having a competent knowledge foundation and being morally courageous in a constantly changing health care field.
Expertise
In the role of assistant professor in the Doctoral of Occupational Therapy Program, I teach courses related to adult practice, delivery of management, administration and leadership, neurological conditions, and clinical conditions. I also assist with community fieldwork experiences, interprofessional health care, and supervising the pro-bono clinic. My research interests include working with individuals who are living with a brain injury and moral injury from working during the COVID-19 pandemic.
